ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell men's basketball senior guards Jake FIegen (first team) and Cooper Noard (second team) have been selected to the 2025-26 All-Ivy League team as voted on by the conference's eight head coaches it was announced today by the league office. Fiegen earned his first All-Ivy honor, while Noard will graduate as a two-time selection. Senior Corbin Zentner also earned Academic All-Ivy accolades.

Fiegen had a breakout senior campaign, ranking among the conference's leaders in scoring (fifth, 16.8 ppg.), field goal percentage (eighth, .543), 3-point field goals (seventh, 2.22 per game), 3-point percentage (11th, .408) and rebounds (14th, 5.1 rpg.). He was even better in Ivy League play, pacing the circuit in scoring in conference contests (18.5 ppg.) on 57-42-72 shooting. One of the team's top defenders, his last-second 3-pointer beat Ivy champ Yale to finish with 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists in the victory. Fiegen had 21 double figure scoring games and recorded a pair of 30-point games, both coming against Ivy foes (33 vs. Dartmouth, 31 at Brown).

Noard earned second-team honors after pacing the Ivy League in scoring at 18.5 ppg. in his final season on elite efficiency - shooting .511 from the floor, .390 from 3-point range and .900 from the free-throw line. The senior captain surpassed 1,000 career points and has jumped to No. 17 on the school's career scoring list with 1,177 points, while also climbing to fifth in 3-pointers made (227). He reached double figures 26 times, including in every game against a Division I opponent, with 10 games with at least 20 points. Noard hit for 34 points at Kent State and went for 30 on Senior Day against Brown. He accomplished all this despite playing just 27.3 minutes per contest, a mark that ranks 23rd in the Ivy League.

Zentner, an important part of the team's guard rotation, sports a 3.82 grade point average in Applied Economics and Management. Zentner has played in 23 contests, including 17 in which he was the first player off the bench, and averaged 3.4 points while shooting 39 percent from 3-point range while providing pesky defense.

At 15-12 overall (8-6 Ivy), Cornell enters Ivy Madness as the No. 4 overall seed and will play Ivy regular season champion and defending conference tournament titleist Yale in the semifinals on Saturday, March 14 at 11 a.m. on ESPNU.
